  Happy birthday, Finn and congratulations to Charlie – I think 4 is the best kid age ever – have SO much fun with him!

  Happy birthday, Finn! 4 years old is the best. It’s so awesome that when my little brother (now aged 26) was a kid, he’d start all of his sentences with, “When I was 4…” when recalling his favourite memories. He probably wasn’t 4 when those awesome things happened, but to him ‘4’ was the time of awesome. I hope your time of awesome is just that – may you and your family create many beautiful memories together this year 🙂

  Hi, Finn, and Happy Birthday!

  I’m from Brazil, and also a HUGE fan of your dad’s work (which includes you, of course – LOL). I also happen to be a father of two boys, one 3 years old and other 3 months old, so I guess I could relate to practically everything your father ever teaches us. But today I’m here to give you 5 advices I actually give to my boys:
  1 – There is rarely a need to raise your voice. At the ballgame is an exception
  2 – Always keep your word
  3 – If you ever make a mistake, forgive yourself and move on
  4 – Read a book before bed every night. You don’t know what this means now, but trust me, it will make your conversations INCREDIBLY interesting in the future
  5 – Don’t pay to much attention to advices from strangers. But listen and think about them, something good might come up.

  Have fun in your birthday!

  My not quite yet 4-year-old says “Happy Birthday Finn, be sure to climb a ladder.”

  Hey Finn, happy birthday. Don’t let your dad steal all the attention – make sure he saves some for you too.

  Actually, that advice will probably serve you well for a long time as you get older…

  Happy Birthday, Finn! Four is awesome. I have a four year old daughter, and I tell her that her most important “jobs” are to grow, to play, to learn and to never lose her sense of wonder. I hope you get to do plenty of all those things this year, too.

  Finn, some of my favorite people were once four, so you are in good company. Enjoy your birthday and all the days to follow.

  Oh, Finn. First, let me tell you that you have got to be the luckiest little boy in all the land to have the two parents you have. I was just a teenager when I met your dad, back when I was brand new to Los Angeles, and completely convinced that I wanted to be an actress for the rest of my life. That didn’t quite pan out, but I’m so happy to have met some of the people I still keep in touch with today- your dad being one of them. Even back then, I had never met someone so much in love with his significant other (that would be your mother) and now I get to say that I’ve met very few people so much in love with his or her child (that would be you). It’s been fun watching you grow up via photographs and shared moments your parents have proudly displayed for us to see. I hope you will always find your own life just as exciting to watch unfold as we all have. Congratulations on turning four! 🙂

  Hi Finn, I have a little boy that is a year younger than you, and enjoy reading about you & your dad, and how you explore things together. I hope you have a very happy birthday!

  If I had to offer advice… Just as your father said that he & your mother need to exercise patience and belief in watching you grow, explore, and become an individual, you’ll need to have patience & belief in them, as they adjust from holding you in their arms, to holding your hand, to watching proudly as you go through these changes and become a man.

  Hope you have a great birthday, Finn! With a dad like Charlie, I’m certain you won’t start to dread birthdays until you are at least 48.

  Happy Birthday, Finn!

  I have no advice for you. Your parents love you to smithereens and your dad is that rare combination of someone who’s both a cool insider and an awkward outsider. You’re set.

  Oh, one thing. Though it seems secluded and private, don’t fart when alone in an elevator, somebody always gets on.

  Finn, you’re obviously super awesome since you share a birthday with MY son, who will also be 4 tomorrow! Remember to be kind, loving, and respectful of everyone you meet, and especially your family. 🙂 I hope you enjoy your day!

  Happy Birthday, Finn! HHhhmm, a few words of advice… don’t sweat the small stuff kid! Life is short and goes by much too fast. Live your life like there’s no tomorrow. Laugh all the time, even at yourself! Love with every part of your being, no holds barred. Charlie, don’t be too hard on yourself! You have a beautiful family and you’re an awesome husband and father!

  Happy birthday, Finn! For your 4th birthday, I’d like to give you some advice.

  Dream big, and don’t let anyone say you can’t do it. If they happen to say this, not only prove them wrong, but excel in it. Fly high, Finn.

  Happy 4th birthday, Finn! We all look forward to sharing in the awesomeness of your upcoming adventures. I hope your future self realises how cool your family is. If not, maybe try re-reading all his hard work in another decade. Xoxo

  Happy birthday, young one, from far over seas. This may be a bit premature, but I think you left a wake in Ireland that still shakes and confuses people today.

  And should any day ever bring you sadness, just look at the picture hidden here, and remember that happiness comes with friends and family.

  Happy b-day Finn!! It must be really strange to have people congratulating you (and your parents) from distant lands, people you don’t even know! My daughter also had her b-day today and she didn’t cooperate with those calling by phone or skype 😉 But hopefully your parents will save this and one day, you will be able to read all these comments, have some laughs and feel your heart warm about people you never really knew. Such is life: a collection of memories you still don’t have, or don’t value, but will make the biggest treasures as time goes by. That’s why you are so full of life and energy, with your eyes, heart and mind in simple every-day things, but we as adults have already fell in the spell of time and life as a very long dimension, with tons of memories and experiences. You are now only 4, the age when you will really start to remember things about you and those 4-year-old memories will be the most distants in your mind. But hey! Until now you have had a lot of fun, laughs, and great moments with your parents, even if you don’t remember them (and believe me, they DO remember many things of the past 4 years). Treasure them also, for those are the memories of an endless love building between you and your family, something you might not remember now but that will warm your heart in every step you take. Have a long, beautiful, happy and healthy life! 🙂

  Finn – Happy 4th Birthday. Usually, it’s a good idea to forge your own path in life. But, you’re a lucky kid and fate has given you an awesome dad. Never be afraid to emulate him, look to him for guidance, and ask yourself how he would handle a situation.

  Oh. And never google your dad’s name and Michael Musto. Trust me. Just avoid it.
